(In reply to Barney Wolff from comment #3) > … a vital pool that's on a permanently-attached internal disk > fails to get imported because an unimportant pool on a usb disk has > vanished. For me, occasionally, boot (from OpenZFS on adao) fails in the presence of some combination of external USB devices. IIRC multi-user mode either (a) is not reached, or (b) does not progress. The 'offending' device is not necessarily one that contains a pool. Sometimes it might be a cache device; other times IIRC it might be not storage-related. Sometimes, randomness – a failure to boot with a particular set of USB devices might be followed by a successful boot with the same set, with no change to connections. When the bug bites: I remove the device, boot continues. There might be an existing bug report for this type of thing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
